In the past month, this recipe has come up twice during recipe conversations so I thought it was time to try it out! What's great is that it is so nice and simple! A mom at my mom's group mentioned it and then my sister suggested I try it too. Some make it with pineapple, but I decided to do mine without.
Ingredients:
1 can cherry pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Open can of cherry pie filling and "dump" it into a 9 x 13-in pan. Spread it evenly on the bottom.
- Open yellow cake mix and pour it onto the cherry pie filling.
- Slice the stick of butter and randomly place the butter pats across the top. To be technical, I was able to fit 5 rows of butter with 4 pats across.
- Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!
OK, so I just finished making this and have some ideas. Don't try to put it in a smaller pan (like I did). There is too much cake mix for a smaller pan. I'm not sure if that affected my cake (because I had to transfer it into a bigger pan), but it wasn't as incredible as I expected. I may like this better with the pineapple. I also think it would be delicious if I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It was good, it just wasn't as incredible as I'd heard......I'd be interested to know how it turns out for you if you try it!
